Give me a Golf R with the newer engine and ko4 turbo, tartan seats and the same boot space as the GTI and you have the best Golf.

AndyC: It should not take a genius to get the point.
I'll assist: The heading of this thread should have the clue.

DSG and R FTW :grin:

I have to be honest... I'd had my Mk 6 R for over a year now and there's not a single day where I got in it and wished I was in a Mk 6 GTI instead (though I've never had a GTI, so that maybe explains it). There were a few times where I missed the burble of the Mk 5 R32 though. :smiley:

Well im crazy then,

Me too.

No doubt the R is faster. And more surefooted.
I don't like it to look at as much as the GTI or the interior - both subjective, of course.
Whilst the extra power and bigger turbo would be nice...I just find it a bit dull to drive...similar to the S3 really...efficient, quick...but far duller than the GTI.
The fact that the GTI doesn't just grip and go, probably makes it the more entertaining in my mind.

And at £36-37k for the spec of R I would have wanted...it wasn't worth the extra cash.

Lovely cars...just not for me.

I drove both cars back to back and opted to go with the GTI.  I found it a more entertaining drive and lighter on it's feet - more torque at the lower revs.  With the Revo Stage 1 remap it's plenty fast too. 

Looks wise there is litte in it for me, prefer the rims on the GTI and you can't get an R in Carbon Steel!   

I'm sure a chipped R would be a beast though.  But for that money I would rather a Cayman S.
